Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

    Agency: Bureau of Export Administration (BXA).
    Title: International Import Certificate.
    Agency Form Number: BXA-645P.
    OMB Approval Number: 0694-0017.

information.
    Burden: 270 hours.

    Number of Respondents: 1,008 respondents.
    Needs and Uses: The United States and several other countries have 
undertaken to increase the effectiveness of their respective controls 
over international trade in strategic commodities by means of an Import 
Certificate procedure. For the U.S. importer, this procedure provides 
that, where required by the exporting country with respect to a 
specific transaction, the importer certifies to the U.S. Government 
that he/she will import specific commodities into the United States and 
will not reexport such commodities except in accordance with the export 
control regulations of the United States. The U.S. Government, in turn, 
certifies that such representations have been made.
    Affected Public: Individuals, businesses or other for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: Dennis Marvich (202) 395-7340.
